#242156 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 16 July 2009 - 12:27 AM in Modifications

What I use for wars, really happy with the paint on the PAS.
PM me if the pics are huge and I'll resize them.

So yeah, I had my BS recon all set up and promptly realized that I don't like clips. So I made this.

The three tanks on the back are detachable if anybody starts bitching. Also, this entire project cost me absolutely nothing; everything used was either given to me, found in the garage, or found in the junk bin at school.

Built myself a sceptor, because I want to be the best.

I've heard talk of these man cannons and decided to give it a try.
I did all the mods, spring replacement, rear loading, turret seal replacement, the works.
And I got...

The Transgender Cannon
This is what happens when you do all the mods, and average low sixties, with a tailwind.

the first step in making the apollo more war worthy. if you want to try something similar dont try and make the stock attachment point yourself, just cut the back off a recon or other trash blaster that accepts stocks.

#269144 Homemades Picture Thread

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 14 March 2010 - 05:49 PM in Homemades

Ah, so I'm guessing +bow ranges?

I'm going to try to do it with the PAS Plunger tube.

If you want to make it a bit easier, just get the +bow plunger tube and cut it to the length of the PAS plunger tube. It fits perfectly with a few wraps of e-tape.

PUMPBOW N-WORDS

all for the cost of free

two tees, 4 elbows, and a zip tie. I might do a writeup sometime, but its pretty damn easy to figure out.

Alright NH, its time to step up the game.
Posted Image
The wrist breaker, an atempt at a homemade ratchet blast that went very wrong. Solid steel construction, loosely based on the LAB but due to split's impossibly shitty templates and writeups everything was redesigned.
Posted Image
Fully TIG welded on all connections, good for 10,000 pounds of force.
Posted Image
Relatively small draw, but large diameter plunger tube. And it can handle ridiculous spring strengths due to the sideplates taking all the force.

yep

The RX-78 Bow
Posted Image
On obviously gundam inspired paintjob that was finished a couple months ago. The +bow itself was built a year ago with only a cordless drill, a dremel, and a jigsaw held upsidedown between my legs.

Not enough people use the integration holes, so I decided to change that.
Posted Image
Homemade sheet metal brackets hold each gun on, with a pair of screwdrivers to make it ghetto-fabulous. It also makes it easy to remove mid round if you want to rock just one gun of the pair.
Posted Image
I've got a few guns set up to use this way, but the Lightning Blitz is by far my favorite.

Hey lucian, I'll buy that scrap off you for shipping, :D.

Wasn't sure where to post this, so I'm putting it here.

It's a shitty picture, but it gets the point across. PAS with +Bow internals, gets respectable ranges. Writeup and more info to come when I get a better camera.

WHAT ABOUT IT?



CHECK THE FREAKING DATES!!!


The last post was Jan 24 2008, still a bit long. The 2006 was the first post, not the last. Done and done, sorry for the backseat mod.



#178466 +bow: Diy Thread

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 20 September 2008 - 06:02 PM in Homemades

Another teaser.
*above picture*


From the looks of it, that handle has no foam. Did you make a molded handle, or is it just not finished?
I'm guessing the answers will come soon. Also, the frosty plastic looks nice.

You guys are some pretty cool dudes.
Thats all I have to say for now.



#237062 Armageddon X

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 18 June 2009 - 01:47 AM in Nerf Wars

I know its a little late in the game to ask this, but do any of the war locals have room on their floors for three to four nerfers? Our mothers would rather we stayed with someone instead of in a hotel. PM me if you have any room and want to talk this out.

#166535 The Vulcan: Internals And Mods! New Mods Pg.9!

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 04 August 2008 - 04:04 PM in Modifications

My only other thought so far is using one chain and fusing it together in a loop,so that I have one continuous chain, I can add bullets as fast as I can on the fly, and keep a consinstant automatic gun going.


This is a fantastic idea in my opinion. Having just purchased my vulcan i understand that logic and I'm going to end up trying that one. The only problem is making sure to line up the blank shell so you can remove the chain.

6 bucks for a vulcan, 5 for a new version TTG. A happy day all around.



#339661 Last Armageddon (Armageddon XV)

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 19 June 2014 - 07:55 PM in Nerf Wars

Does anyone have one of those slugfire singled shells for the sledgefire that they would let me use for a bit/sell me at the war?



#339740 Last Armageddon (Armageddon XV)

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 23 June 2014 - 09:09 PM in Nerf Wars

Fantastic war, A+ location, finally meeting the east coast guys was great as was hanging out with them afterwards. Thorn is a beast, those young girls ran trains. Speed rounds and freeze tag were the best parts and I would readily play an entire day of just them. Nothing went wrong, you are all fantastic.

I took one picture at the war, its important

#350264 PCSR: A new homemade design

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 29 December 2015 - 02:11 AM in Homemades

shit post 4 LYFE

 

i thought you were talking about the eye on the end, thats what i meant for files. my bad. however there;s a thing called a tap and die set, it works very well for cutting threads. people have been using it for a long time.

 

now i understand the plunger setup, does it have any problems with it riding against the inside of the tube and dragging? my worry would be that over time as the spring shortens it would not have the same pressure against it and would cause it to go a little cocked down the plunger tube and rub away at the material, then making the seal not be square and causing issues. places 2 and 5 being the concerns. obviously this is a long term thing but still a concern.




#350260 PCSR: A new homemade design

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 29 December 2015 - 12:49 AM in Homemades

are you upset? you seem upset. 

 

your complaints about the plunger rod being a special piece are nullified by the fact that you still have used a 3d printer every step of the way, which is arguably way more specialized and hard to replicate compared to a lathe; which you could easily replicate with a file and some time. especially your plunger head which seems needlessly complicated in shape just because you could.

this is the most impressive thing that I can barely understand that Ive seen in awhile, looking forward to a video showing it all off. props for putting up ebay links and schematics as well as your failures that other people might get if they follow along. god damn.

Ah dang, this sucks pretty bad, and I was excited too. Oh well, I'll look forward to somebody else planning a war around me sooner than Armageddon. Who knows, maybe I'll try organizing one myself.

Five?! Wow, I'm still very sorry I had to cancel, no tolerance for other hobbies. If you do cancel I would do my best to come if you plan a rescheduled war.

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 21 February 2009 - 08:58 PM in Nerf Wars

There isn't really a necro rule when it comes to war threads is there? Anyway, there is a week until this war and it about time we talked about meeting places, start and end times, and the like. I was waiting for nerfer9 to do this, but it says he hasn't been active since the 8th so I went ahead and did it. So if nerfer9 sees this, please post what you want to happen and when.

For those who are wondering about the location (who knows, perhaps somebody will see it who hasn't already) just type "West Grant Line Road, Tracy, California (El Pescadero Park)" into google maps without the quotes.

Posted by CaliforniaPants on 22 February 2009 - 03:46 PM in Nerf Wars

Ok guys I have been talking to Nerfer9 and even though he is banned he will still be there and the war is still on. I am not going to be there but he will. The war is on, hope you guys have a good time.


How are you talking to him? And ask him this, how many people are ACTUALLY coming, not people that he just put on there.

The 28th looks open to me, but I'll talk to everybody first.
Whoo freaking hoo.
